Table of Contents
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second entry to the FF7 remake trilogy, arrived on PC yesterday (January 23rd), so that means a fresh wave of graphics drivers. Although Intel hasn’t made a massive dent in the dGPU market just yet, it seems to be making steady progress following the launch of its new Arc B580 and Arc B570 cards.
These cards are part of the ‘B-series’ Battlemage generation and are designed to offer excellent value for money, both well within the sub-$300 price bracket. And now, the latest Intel Arc driver boosts the performance of both of them in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
